Abstract
In this 2-week mini-series, environmental engineering faculty from UMBC’s Department of Chemical, Biochemical, and Environmental Engineering will present brief overviews of their research. This week we will hear from Profs. Lee Blaney and Brian Reed and Dr. Stuart Schwartz of CUERE.
Prof. Lee Blaney’s research addresses the fate and transport of emerging contaminants in natural and engineered systems. Many of his projects focus on environmental detection of pharmaceuticals or treatment processes aimed at removing pharmaceuticals from drinking water/wastewater matrices.
Prof. Brian Reed’s primary research focus has been on the removal of inorganic contaminants from the aqueous phase by activated carbons. Over the last several years he has investigated the efficacy of impregnated carbons for the removal of anionic contaminants such as As(III), As(V), and ClO4-.
Dr. Stuart Schwartz focuses on water resource systems analysis, urban hydrology and water policy. His recent work has included design and installation of permeable pavement for stormwater management and evaluating the efficacy of mechanical subsoiling as a means to enhance infiltration capacity of compacted soils.
